Chapter 932 Seven Color Dynasty

Wu Yi's implication was that he was just trying to gain popularity, not really becoming a Taoist priest. However, Taoist Feng Qing was afraid of being punished, so he waved his hands repeatedly, wanting to refuse Wu Yi's request.

Wu Yi couldn't get over his temper, and said: "In that case, nephew will just be a spectator on the side. Is this not okay? Uncle!"

Uncle is the name given to friends of the father's generation who are younger than his father. Yes, Taoist Feng Qing was a good friend of Chen Yan's father, so Chen Yan came to Qingfeng Taoist Temple to seek refuge when he was in trouble.

Taoist Feng Qing didn't understand why Wu Yi would rather waste favors and participate in this ritual, but since this ritual was open to the public, it didn't matter if he brought Wu Yi with him, just let him stand closer.

"You!" Taoist Feng Qing sighed helplessly, but then he remembered something and said: "This ceremony was invited by the county lieutenant. The reason is that the ghost of the female prisoner in the prison is lingering and disturbing the living. I haven't seen it myself yet. You have to be careful! Don't be haunted by ghosts."

"Nephew, please don't worry!" Wu Yi agreed respectfully. He didn't know whether Feng Qing meant to be careful of the ghost of the female prisoner or the county lieutenant. After all, the latter was the culprit who made Chen Yan a lonely man.

After chatting for a few more words, Taoist Feng Qing said goodbye to Wu Yi and walked towards the main hall. Although the Taoist temple is not big, it still has to patrol and guard normally. If there are pilgrims coming, they have to receive and answer their questions in person.

"Female prisoner in prison?" Wu Yi stroked his green beard, with the corners of his mouth raised. Maybe it was a good opportunity to solve the cause and effect of this body.

After returning to the house, Wu Yi quietly left the Qingfeng Taoist Temple with the jade token containing his own cultivation. He would not fight an unprepared battle, but would explore the way and gather some people's attention.

The structure of the human way is very similar to that of the divine way, which is tight and compact, and each person has his own job. Unlike the immortal way, there are many scattered cultivators and the system is much more scattered. Gods who are not included in the pantheon are called wild gods and are to be killed, while in the immortal way, no one is bored enough to kill scattered cultivators.

However, there is one thing that can almost be said to be the most essential difference between the human way and the immortal way, that is, the divine way maintains its own position by relying on the incense of believers (if it is a natural god, it depends on the fortune of heaven and earth, and acts according to the fortune of heaven and earth). Incense cannot be achieved overnight, so the growth of gods requires a long time.

And once people in the human way get an official position, even if they are only in their early twenties, they will immediately rise to prominence and become famous under the blessing of the national fortune.

It is not an easy thing for people in the human world to obtain official positions. No matter how the official selection system changes, the people who finally become officials must be those who are willing to do so. Otherwise, even if they get the official position, they will lose it. This is the so-called virtue does not match the position.

What is the will of the people? In short, it is the will of the people. If the people believe in you and are willing to listen to you, you will get the will of the people, and you don’t have to worry about the government orders not leaving the government office and being sidelined.

In different eras, due to the general trend of the times and the changes in the official selection system, the interpretation of the will of the people is also different.

At the beginning, when the country was founded, wars were frequent. At that time, military merits were the will of the people. The world was won immediately, and the power was in the hands of military generals, and the court was full of reckless men.

When the country stabilized and peace became the mainstream, military merits were no longer the only will of the people. There were so many dynasties, some hereditary, some recommended by filial piety, some nine-rank Zhongzheng, and today's imperial examinations, and countless systems.

The system has been changing. What has not changed is people's will. The purpose of all official selection systems is to allow those who enter the court through this system to be recognized by the public and maintain the continuation of the dynasty.

Hereditary succession relies on the uterus award;

Filial piety and integrity are recommended, which is a personal character;

The nine-rank system is a lot of fancy, but the most important thing is still family background. However, compared with hereditary succession, hereditary succession is possible, but not necessarily;

The imperial examination system, scores determine everything, one size fits all, without explanation, it seems rude, but among many systems, this is the fairest, and candidates gain status with their own talents.

Regardless of personal character, family background, or talent and knowledge, the original intention of the system is to recommend people with prestige into the system. Those who are recognized by others are given the titles of elites, experts, scholars, and bachelors.

The world is always ruled by elites at the bottom, so that the cost of governance is the lowest and the benefits are the highest. Yes, it is just a simple math problem. No one really believes that democracy can achieve absolute democracy! No way! No way! There are such stupid people.

One plus one equals two, and one hundred plus one hundred may still be negative.

As mentioned earlier, popularity, or human will, is the foundation for people in the human world to obtain official positions, but are there any examples of people who have obtained official positions without popularity? Of course there are.

For example, when the imperial examination was popular all over the world, those who relied on family connections to enter the official career were inevitably ridiculed by the public, and they could get in but not get promoted.

It is worth noting that popularity will change in different eras. You are unparalleled in filial piety and integrity, but in the era of military merit, you can't achieve anything.

It's not that your filial piety and integrity have regressed, but it's just because the general trend of the times is different, and the requirements of the times are not in line with you.

Here, it needs to be reiterated again that personal efforts must be in line with the trend of the times. It's better to not work hard or work less, and it's better to choose the right direction of effort.

Since the great land and sea catastrophe, the western land of the upper world has had a hundred catastrophes, one catastrophe lasts 120,000 years, that is, 12 million years have passed. However, the rise of humanity in this land may not even last one catastrophe, but once it rises, the speed is amazing, and it is enough to confront the immortal way.

During this catastrophe, not counting the primitive era of the early tribes, only counting the empire, including the current dynasty, there are a total of seven, and the national flag is set according to the rainbow color, with the seven-color cycle.

The names of the countries are also related to the seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. They are the Great Yan Dynasty (the color of the flame is red);

The Great Zhen Dynasty (red and yellow together form orange, fire is on top and Kun is on the bottom, in the Eight Trigrams, this is the Mingyi Trigram, the 36th Trigram, the hexagram: Li Jian Zhen);

The Great Yu Dynasty (the four directions are the Yu, the Yu is the earth, the earth is yellow);

The Great Qiao Dynasty (green is the grass and trees, Qiao is high, symbolizing the flourishing of grass and trees);

The Great Xin Dynasty (blue, compared with green, is like a new bud, full of vitality);

The Great Ming Dynasty (blue is the color of the sky, the sky has no two colors, the blue sky is bright);

Finally, it is the current dynasty, the Great Ji Dynasty (purple is rich and noble, the extreme of wealth and nobility, purple surpasses Zhuchi, it is red on top of red, it is the extreme).

I originally wanted to write red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple directly, but I was afraid that you would say I was water, so I changed it a little. Does it look more serious?
